Series with India was part of 'Big Three' deal: Shaharyar
145
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan admitted on Saturday that the proposed series with India was meant to be a 'reward' for Pakistan's approval of the 'Big Three' and called upon his counterpart in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to honour its commitment.
A two Tests, five one-day and one Twenty20 match series in United Arab Emirates is clouded in uncertainty with relations between Pakistan and India under strain.
“Yes, it’s true that we signed the ‘Big Three’ agreement after the BCCI promised it would renew cricketing ties with Pakistan and the two boards signed MoUs (Memorandum of Understanding) in this regard,” Khan told reporters.
“But I will not say I feel betrayed by India because the series is still not lost. I would call upon the BCCI to honour its commitment.”
Khan, wrote a letter to the BCCI secretary on Wednesday, pressing him for an update on a proposed series but the fate of the matches remains uncertain.
Last year, under Najam Sethi, the PCB and BCCI had signed a MoU under which they were scheduled to play six series in the 2015-2023 Future Tours Programme, but all were subject to clearance from New Delhi.
The deal was part of an agreement which effectively gave control of international cricket affairs to India, Australia and England, dubbed the 'Big Three'.
The two countries have not played a full series against each other since 2007, though Pakistan toured India for a short series in December 2012.

Were there any guarantors? How could Mr. Shaharyar Khan be so naive to have not insisted on fool proof guarantees.
And if India reneges on its commitment and doesn't want to play, Pakistan should say good riddance.

Why should India talk with a country that doesn't even honour something as important as the NSA talks in which Kashmir has nothing to do with terrorism. It's important in creating a positive atmosphere and trust before moving onto the bigger issues.
Surprisingly, they know how to differentiate between Kashmir and Cricket! Otherwise the Pakistani team would be visiting Hurriyat everytime India hosts them or the upcoming T20 World Cup because all OUTSTANDING ISSUES must be discussed between the two countries and not something agreed upon by the 2 Prime Ministers of the respective countries.

Pakistan has to build his cricket without India, and Pakistan has the capability to sustain its cricket without Indians. There are 180 millions Pakistanis who love cricket. Only PCB has to make stronger plans and better management.

Pakistan Govt. is selling this for domestic consumption but there are no takers on international forums. UN Resolution was dead the day Pakistan signed Shimla agreement.

Why would India give commitment if power is to be shared by big THREE? There is little reason for it to stand guarantee for powers wielded by others. India generates most of the money in global cricket which gives it power beyond the normal vote.
That said, the debate should be on the bilateral agreement between Pakistan and India and its conditionalities. BCCI & PCB should engage with each other and seek help from their respective govt. Public posturing like the one by Shaharyar is not going to resolve the issue.

If India does not play with Pak, what is the issue then - Pak should ignore and cancel the deal (if any) and look for other playing partners - why sticking to India?
I don't understand - Pak does not need to make a mountain of a molehill on this game - why beg to India for this series that India gives a cold-shoulder to?

PCB learn from history. You should see how ruthlessly BCCI dismantled ICL in favour of corrupt IPL. If they can do this to their own, what do you expect from them. Fact is they will never honour any commitments they made to PCB. Accept the truth and move on.

I think it is Najam Sethi who should reply this question not India. They needed us, they used us; they don't need us anymore! Why should they honour their MoU. The deals made under duress are never honoured. It is Najam Sethi who dropped us in this puddle and it him who should answer these questions!!!

I'm not a big fan of bringing politics into a game but if a country doesn't wish to participate in a series they don't. Arabs have been boycotting Israel in sporting events for years. Its all a matter of power and money. BCCI has more money and clout than the PCB and can get away with more shenanigans. Simple as that.

PCB should have known from the previous experiences that Indians have been hypocritical in every business with Pakistan in last 60 years.
Why PCB is acting so naïve now?

India will once again not play this series. They have fabricated excuses like always. At the heart of the issue, they know they will lose and BCCI just wants to save to save itself from the embarrassment. With introduction of IPL Indians think they are the chaudhrys of cricketing world but that title is diminished when they lose to Pakistan.

What a bunch of lies. BCCI never signed an agreement. It was an MOU for crying out loud. A memorandum of understanding. MOU signifies intent but not a consent for carrying out an action. Really disappointed with the PCB chairman for twisting the sequence of events in this manner.

Did BCCI even need support from PCB for 'Big three' proposal? The proposal had the support of 9 out of 10 member nations of ICC before Pakistan reluctantly agreed to it.

Cricket should be kept away from politics and should use as a mean to bring the people of India and Pakistan more closer to each other, hope things will change soon in future positive side.
